Hi,
It looks like you have been experiencing some amount of uterine spasm and you would definitely need an antispasmodic for relief. Dysmenorrhea, as it is called, has several reasons; it could be hormonal, due to infections or due to stress. It should get relieved after an antispasmodic and if not, you should see a specialist for further care. Hope your query is answered. Wish you good health.
